Assuming the glass cup held a cold liquid, the air closest to the cup will be colder than the surrounding air, causing water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.

Would droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

yes.


What do you think would happen if the bottom of the glass had a hole in it you submerged it upside down in water?

If the glass has a hole in the bottom and you submerge it upside down in water, the water would enter the glass through the hole until the air pressure inside and outside the glass equalize. Once this happens, the water would stay at a level inside the glass equal to the height of the water outside the glass.


If you pour yourself a glass of ice water in your kitchen on a cold winter day where the temperature is 25 degrees F outside would you expect to see condensation form on the outside of the glass?

If the glass of ice water remains in the kitchen then yes, the warm humid air of the kitchen will condense water on the side of the cold glass of ice water. If you take the glass outside then no. 25'F is below the freezing point of water so the air will be colder than the glass of ice water which can be no colder than 35'F. Besides this there will be no water in the air as it will have been frozen-out by the cold temperature, so there will be nothing to condense.


Why would droplets of water form on the outside of the glass?

Droplets of water form on the outside of a glass when warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool down and reach its dew point, leading to condensation.


When an empty glass is inverted into a tub of water. Why the water does not enter the glass?

The air pressure inside the glass is stronger than the water pressure outside, creating a barrier that prevents the water from entering the glass. This is due to atmospheric pressure pushing down on the surface of the water and keeping it from filling the inverted glass.


Would condensation form on the outside of a beaker full of hot water why or why not?

Yes, condensation could form on the outside of a beaker full of hot water if the surrounding air is cool enough to cause the water vapor in the air to condense on the cooler surface of the beaker. This is similar to how condensation forms on a cold glass of water on a warm day.


If ice forms on the forms on the outside of the glass?

If ice forms on the outside of the glass, it is likely due to condensation from the air coming into contact with the cold surface of the glass. This can happen when the drink inside the glass is colder than the surrounding air temperature. It is a natural occurrence and can be prevented by using an insulated glass or coaster.

What is the temperature of ice form on the outside of the glass cup?

since water freezes at 0 degress celsius the temperature would have to be 0 degress or below.


Why does the glass of water evaporate when you throw it outside?

the glass of water evaporates because the hot sun heats up the water molecules and makes them move around faster and faster until it gets enough energy to transform itself into gas thus evaporating ............________________.

How much water does a glass hold?

standard glass is 8oz, but it would depend on the glass.
